Les Mills Pump

THE SKINNY: “Flat abs, sculpted shoulders, lean legs and tight buns” is what this system promises. I’m totally hooked on these workouts, which make me feel like an athlete in training. The workout’s success is due to the Les Mills “Rep Effect” — using lighter weights with higher reps. The system comes with everything you’ll need to get started: two 5-pound and 10-pound weight plates, two safety clips, a barbell, seven workout DVDs and a fitness and nutrition guide. The workout accommodates exercisers from newbie to advanced.
